Foods that have citrus in them are berries, oranges, grapefruit, limes and lemons.

Citrus is a genus of flowering trees and shrubs in the rue family, Rutaceae.

Plants in the genus produce citrus fruits, including important crops such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits, pomelos, and limes.

The genus Citrus is native to South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Melanesia, and Australia.

Citric acid occurs naturally in lemons, limes, pineapples, grapefruits, berries (not blueberries), tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, and some varieties of peppers.

Fruits that are not from the citrus family include apples, pears, watermelon, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, melons, bananas, kiwi and more.

A citrus fruit is a juicy fruit with a sharp taste such as an orange, lemon, or grapefruit.

Citron is one of the oldest kinds of citrus fruits and was used as parent species in the genetic breeding of many other important citrus fruits.

It is often candied and used in desserts, as the citron is mostly rind and offers little or no juice.

The citron is a slow-growing tree with leathery leaves and spines.

Brazil, China and the United States are the top total citrus fruit producers, growing grapefruit, lemons, limes, oranges and tangerines.

In the United States, citrus fruits grown for consumption as fresh fruits are mainly grown in California, Arizona and Texas. Florida grows oranges primarily for juice.
